In respect to [[atheism]], Dr. Doug Jesseph has been described as "the most impressive debater to date" by [[Jeffery Jay Lowder]], a founder of the pro-atheism website [[Internet Infidels]].<ref>http://www.infidels.org/infidels/newsletter/1997/october.html</ref> However, in a 1996 debate with [[William Lane Craig]], Doug Jesseph claimed that the [[origin of life]] had a detailed [[Atheism|atheistic]] explanation(s).<ref>http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/doug_jesseph/jesseph-craig/jesseph1.html</ref> This confidence was not shared by the highly respected origin of life researcher [[Stanley Miller]]. Indeed, in 1996, John Horgan wrote that "Miller seemed unimpressed with any of the current proposals on the origin of life, referring to them as “nonsense” or “paper chemistry.”"<ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/abio.asp</ref> In a 1996 edition of ''[[Scientific American]]'', Horgan went on to say: "The origin of life is a science writer's dream. It abounds with exotic scientists and exotic theories, which are never entirely abandoned or accepted, but merely go in and out of fashion."<ref>http://members.iinet.net.au/~sejones/orignl01.html#orgnflfmjrprblmschcknndgg</ref>
